Text of excerpt, if available
Romans 12 tells tells us if you're in the middle, you need to rejoice in our confident hope. That's in Jesus. Be patient in trouble. That means this may last a while. That means I know, I know that the disciples really wish it would went from putting him in the tomb. Why didn't they just go straight to Sunday? Why did Saturday have to be there? Why did, why did I have to go through those 24 hours of not knowing what was going to happen? Because there's an deepening of your faith in the part of your life, where you are not in control. I just said a mouthful right now. You're going to grow more in the middle. You're going to love more in the middle. You're going to become who God created you to be in the middle, but you have to go through the suffering of Saturday. If you're going to see the resurrection on Sunday.
